What are laparoscopic surgeries?

Laparoscopic surgery is a modern surgical technique in which intra-abdominal surgeries are performed through a very small incision (usually 0.5-1.5 cm), compared to the incisions that are performed in conventional surgeries. It is a minimally invasive procedure that allows the surgeon to access cavities and internal organs in the body by making very small incisions or through natural body openings, such as: the mouth, nostrils, or anus.

Types of laparoscopic surgery:

• Cholecystectomy: It is a simple operation performed through surgical incisions that do not exceed 2 cm, so there is not much bleeding or scars, and also the duration of the surgery is short.

• Laparoscopic Appendectomy: it is one of the most common surgeries, which must occur immediately so that the appendix does not burst and infect the patient.

post-operative procedures:

The type of operation you undergo depends on your condition and the surgeon’s experience. Laparoscopic colectomy can reduce pain and recovery time after surgery. Once your colon has been repaired or removed, the surgeon will reconnect your digestive system to allow your body to expel waste.

The duration of the operation depends on the procedures that the doctor will perform and according to the patient’s condition. This process may take about a quarter of an hour.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy takes one to two hours, depending on the patient’s condition
